Taco Bell One-Piece Flow
My local Taco Bell uses one-piece flow, but is it working for customers?
“I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].
“You know, in Lean we talk about the idea of “One Piece Flow”: You have one thing and it gets all the way through the process. I noticed this in action at my local Taco Bell, and I think it may not be the best way to go about it.
“When you come in, if you place an order at the drive-through window, if there’s somebody in front of you they fill that order before they take your order.
